Today's Friday Finds ( 7 October 2022 ) brings you Indie Author news, a new blogger of the week, a children's book from Reese Witherspoon, Jodi Picoult's latest, Spicy Chickpea Bowls, Cheesy Chicken Fritters, and Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. I also share a Halloween String Art project and a big blog roundup.
The Royals Next Door is the first book I have read from Karina Hale. I enjoyed it for its light-hearted fun and likable characters. While it is a thinly-veiled take off on a current pair of royals, they aren't the focus of this story. Their bodyguard and the gal living on the island estate could have carried the story without ever introducing the "Royals." Take this book the way it was meant, as a fun escape for a few hours.
Again. Again and Again
